About Broad bean
Broad beans, also known as fava beans, are nutrient-rich legumes that have been part of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines for thousands of years. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, vitamin B1, and vitamin K. They also provide a range of minerals, including iron, magnesium, and potassium, which support heart health and energy production. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, broad beans are a healthy addition to most diets, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. Their high fiber content can help regulate blood sugar levels, while their iron content supports healthy red blood cell production. However, individuals with G6PD deficiency should avoid them, as they can trigger a reaction. Whether enjoyed fresh, dried, or pureed into dishes like falafel or ful medames, broad beans are a versatile and nutritious food staple.
